Yes, it's called Hellenic Reconstructionism. It's basically the old Greek religion revived.
The one where you worship Odin is called Asatru, or Norse Paganism.
there is one for the original Egyptian religion (the one with Rah, and Isis and Anubis etc.) but I can't remember the name. I think it's something like Hemiticism.

Oh yes. There are several.
Hellenismos (also known as Hellenic Polytheism or Greek Paganism) honours the Gods of ancient Greece, in the style of the ancient Greeks.
Asatru honours the ancient Norse and Germanic Gods in the ancient Norse and Germanic style.
Religio Romano -- see Hellenismos, only apply the Roman deities.
Celtic "reconstructionist" beliefs are also practised as above, usually with some kind of applied "tribal identity" -- some may worship only Irish Gods, while others may honour only the Welsh deities.
There are other newer religions that are kind of a mix-and-match of ancient practises, Eastern (Hindu, Buddhist, etc...) practises and wholly modern practises. The most popular of these religions is Wicca. Many Wiccans also honour many of the ancient Pagan or Eastern deities, though sometimes they don't wholly stick with one pantheon (group of Gods, like Greek or Hindu). Many people also start out as Wiccan, but find Reconstructionist beliefs and practises later and better to their liking.

Yes there is. Hellenism is Greek Reconstuctionism and is practiced by a good number of people today and then there is Norse Heathenry with branches like Asatru, Odinism, Forn Sed, and other reconstructions of Northern Pagan faiths like the Anglo Saxons and Germanic peoples.

Hellenic Polytheists still worship the Gods of the Greeks INCLUDING Zeus.
Asatrur/Heathens still worship the Norse Gods including Odin and Thor.
These are part of what are known as Reconstructionist Pagans religions.
I myself am a Hellenic Polytheist and if you are interested in more information I recommend you check out the book available through this website http://www.winterscapes.com/kharis/ for more information on what we believe and how we worship.

If you study religions, you can find that many of them are similar (I do NOT mean to say they are all the same). One could look at Zeus like God, and the other 'gods' as angels doing his work. I personally don't know much about Viking Mythology, so I can't help you there. Look up such religions as Islam, Christianity, even the religion of the Iriquois. There are many, many similarities.

Roman mythology is really similar. Odin and Thor are from Nordic mythology and a lot of our weekdays are named after them-the various Nordic gods/goddesses. Celtic mythology has a lot of gods/goddesses and a lot of our holidays are from them (IE-Halloween was originally called 'Samhain'...it was a kind of Celtic 'Day of the Dead' Christmas gets almost everything from Winter Solstice rituals; 'Yule' basically meant 'New Year' (hence the Yule log) and Easter has a lot of similarities to pagan fertility rituals (baby animals, eggs, rabbits).
Zoroastrianism and Gnosticism were similar to both Greek and Christian religion.

Yes, look into Asatru. Although I may have spelled it incorrectly. I believe it is primarily a Norse originated religion. Odin plays a large part in it. I find it very interesting.

Yes certain people still worshop some of the Greek and Roman Gods to them it's not mythology. Why some people still bealive there actually was a Jesus Christ.

In Paganism, you can worship gods of your choice. I have always been attracted to Greek and Egyptian deities
